Spied: Next-Gen Super Duty Body Modifications - PickupTrucks.com
That's a bit disappointing although I don't think the front end needs much improvement although who doesn't like a tightened turning radius. Ford has no option but to maximise it's use of aluminium. At least this winter isn't as bad as last Christmas, maybe in California they are having much needed rain, maybe a little too much to quick, but needed. Don, if your statement were true, explain how a semi pulls 110,000 lbs worth of weight with a 15,000 lbs truck. Consider anti-sway which ups the ante even more by applying trailer brakes and alternating truck brakes to control sway. Now, keep it reasonable, I'm not suggesting you're going to pull a 15k lbs camper with a Prius, that's apples and oranges. But a truck is configured to pull a heavy load and when you're talking a thousand pounds from the truck to the trailer, it's not a big deal. I think the super duty going to aluminum will be much more of a game changer in it's own segment than the aluminum f-150 is. They could probably cut 1,000 pounds off the weight of the truck and likely increase the towing capacity. There is a lot of rust under that truck, which suggests it has been tested heavily.
